Altair Opens HyperWorks Software Platform to Third-Party Applications

By DE Editors

The HyperWorks platform for enterprise analytics from Altair (Troy, MI) has been opened to third-party applications, all of which are available to customers under the company's on-demand software licensing system. Six independent software vendors (ISVs) have joined the HyperWorks Partner Solutions Program, which enables customers to operate 15 new third-party applications for zero incremental cost using their existing HyperWorks licenses.

Third-party applications are already available through the HyperWorks Partner Solutions Program.

Altair is extending its Hyperworks Platform from 28 internally developed solutions to 43 with the addition of new ISV applications. Customers can use their existing HyperWorks software licenses to operate all applications, increasing flexibility and the value of their investment.

HyperWorks — a suite of enterprise analytic applications that includes statistical, database, visualization, and simulation software — uses a patented on-demand computing licensing technology allowing users to transparently share software licenses globally across a broad suite of applications.

Customers gain on-demand access to enterprise analytic applications (40+ software titles), as well as reduced cost for applications with low or infrequent usage patterns. Increased productivity is possible through accelerated access to innovative software technology, the company says, as well as the ability to evaluate new applications with zero incremental cost and no long-term commitment.
